Forcing a Document from Review to Approval

When necessary, as a document owner or document control administrator you can move a document currently in the review status to the approval status, skipping any reviewers who have not yet completed their review tasks.

Important: If you are not a document control administrator, you cannot force a document from review to approval if the document's template contains required reviewers.

  1. Find and open the document currently in review that you need to move on to approval (see Finding a Document in a Specific Status).
  2. Click Options, and then click Submit for Approval.
  1. You will see a message like the one below listing the reviewers that will be skipped if you continue. Click OK.
  1. (Optional) The comments provided when the document was submitted for review are displayed. Replace or edit those comments.
  1. Click Submit, and then click OK. Skipped reviewers are notified that they no longer need to complete their review tasks for this document, and assigned approvers receive new tasks.
